 WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the Lender have entered into that certain Security and

 WHEREAS, in
connection with, and to implement, the RGP Singapore Pledge, the Borrowers and the Guarantors have requested that the Lender amend the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement, in each case, as set forth below.

 (a) The following definitions are
hereby added in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement in the appropriate alphabetical order to read as follows: 

“Pledged Equity Request” means a request duly executed and delivered by a Responsible Officer of RCI, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, pursuant to which RCI requests that the Equity Interests of RGP Singapore be required to be pledged pursuant to Section 6.14(a)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby
understood and agreed that the Pledged Equity Request may only be delivered one (1) time during the term of this Agreement. 

“Pledged Foreign Subsidiary” means each Foreign Subsidiary of RCI other than RGP Singapore.

Interests of each Domestic Subsidiary (other than a FSHCO) directly owned by a Loan Party, (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of RGP Singapore, and (iii) sixty five percent (65%) (or
such greater percentage that, due to a change in an applicable Law after the date hereof, (A) could not reasonably be expected to cause the undistributed earnings of such Pledged Foreign Subsidiary or such FSHCO as determined for United States
federal income tax purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Pledged Foreign Subsidiary’s or such FSHCO’s United States parent, and (B) could not reasonably be expected to cause any material adverse tax consequences) of the
issued and outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) and one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests not entitled to vote (within the meaning of
Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) of each Pledged Foreign Subsidiary and each FSHCO, in each case, directly owned by a Loan Party, in each case, to be subject at all times to a first priority (subject only to nonconsensual Permitted Liens),

necessary in connection therewith to perfect the security interests therein, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender (it being understood that this Section 6.14(a) shall only require perfection of the
Lender’s security interest under the Laws of the jurisdiction of organization of a Foreign Subsidiary (including the execution and delivery of local law-governed pledge agreements) (x) within ninety (90) days (or such longer period as
the Lender permits in its sole discretion) of the request of the Lender, and (y) if such Foreign Subsidiary is a Material Foreign Subsidiary); provided, that, upon delivery by RCI of the Pledged Equity Request and acceptance
thereof by the Lender (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Section 6.14(a) shall be deemed to be amended such that Section 6.14(a)(ii) is deleted and replaced with “[reserved]”
and the Equity Interests of RGP Singapore shall be required to be pledged pursuant to Section 6.14(a)(iii) as if RGP Singapore was a Pledged Foreign Subsidiary. 
  

	 	2.	Amendments to Security Agreement. 

 (a) The definition of “Pledged

outstanding Equity Interests of RGP Singapore, and (iii) 65% (or such greater percentage that, due to a change in an applicable Law after the date hereof, (A) could not reasonably be expected to cause the undistributed earnings of such
Pledged Foreign Subsidiary or such FSHCO as determined for United States federal income tax purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Pledged Foreign Subsidiary’s or such FSHCO’s United States parent, and (B) could not
reasonably be expected to cause any material adverse tax consequences) of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) and 100% of
the issued and outstanding Equity Interests not entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) in each Pledged Foreign Subsidiary and each FSHCO, in each case, that is directly

 2

otherwise, with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, the following:

 (2) in the event of any consolidation or merger involving the
issuer thereof and in which such issuer is not the surviving Person, all shares of each class of the Equity Interests of the successor Person formed by or resulting from such consolidation or merger, to the extent that such successor Person is a
direct Subsidiary of an Obligor;

“[reserved]” and the Equity Interests of RGP Singapore shall be pledged in accordance with the requirements set forth in clause (iii) above as if RGP Singapore was a Pledged Foreign Subsidiary.

representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or reference to
Material Adverse Effect) as of such earlier date, and (ii) after giving effect to this Agreement, no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.
